About the Game
‘We let
the lead go but we played fantastic football with the ball from the first
minute,’
‘When at
half time it’s 2-2 and you want to win the game, the most important thing is to
play how we did from the start, that’s what I told the players. There was no
point analysing details and mistakes. We had to get back to playing the
football we lost in the last 15 minutes of the first half.’
‘From the first minute of the second
half we went back to quality football, creation and movement. Sooner or later
the goal was going to arrive.’
‘In the second half we played, there
was a difficult situation on the break when Thibaut had to make three saves in
a few seconds. After that we created and tried everything, so I think we
deserved it.’
‘If we didn’t win the game after the
way we played we would have had the same feeling as Southampton. Today by
winning we got what we deserved and it’s a good feeling.’
About
Hull’s second goal
‘If we tell our goalkeeper every time he has a back pass to kick it in the stands the second goal wouldn’t happen but we don’t do that. He tried to play, lost the rebound, the defenders didn’t open a passing line to play from the back and it’s a goal. Everybody was unhappy. It was just a question of stability, emotional control and playing.’

About Diego
Costa
‘It’s a hamstring injury. When a striker is playing, the team needs a goal to win the game and he says it’s over for him, it’s over. He tried to play the Champions League final with Atletico and was injured, he has that fragility, we know his hamstring is not a strong one. He works hard in the week to compensate for the weakness he has there but the injury can come. We have Remy and Drogba, we never cry about injured players so let’s move on.’

About
Loic Remy Contribution
‘Every time he plays he’s there. He probably deserves more than what I’ve given him. Sometimes a coach can feel he owes something to a player and with Remy that’s the case. I think I owe him something, every time he plays he gives us a lot, I’m so happy for him because he deserves it.’

About
the Competition
‘The title race should be over, in normal conditions Chelsea should have eight, ten or 12 more points than we have but football is unpredictable. The reality is that we have a six-point lead, the best situation we’ve had all season. The maximum distance we had was eight points but at that point we had 20 matches to go. At this moment we have a six-point lead with one match in hand, which could help us or not. I’m pretty confident, I believe in my players, I believe we can do it but I know it’s difficult.’
